Introduction The INVALCO Turbine Flowmeter is a device used to measure the volumetric flow of a fluid. The flowmeter consists of the body, a multiblade rotor (usually 6 to 10 blades depending on size), bearings and supports for the rotor. As a fluid passes through the flowmeter the rotor spins.

Magnetic Pickups Flow in the turbine flowmeter is sensed by a non-wetted sensor called a variable reluctance magnetic pickup. The magnetic pickup is an assembly consisting of a permanent magnet and a coil bobbin on which several hundred turns of wire are wound (Figure 6).

Magnetic Pickup Enclosures Magnetic pickup assemblies may require an enclosure to assure protection against the environment. Three types of enclosures are available. These are: WAK-2 Weatherproof Adapter This kit provides an enclosure for the magnetic pickup to protect it from physical damage, weather, hose down or high EAK-2 Explosion-proof Adapter humidity environments.
Turbine Flowmeter Cable Assemblies Turbine flowmeter cables are 18 gauge shielded, heavy duty neoprene-jacketed complete with mating connector for magnetic pickup and terminated for interconnection to a readout or junction box. Length Part No. 8” 81001471 15’ 81001483 25’ 81001484 50’...
Repair Parts Kits All INVALCO repair parts kits include all flowmeter internal components. The assembly is calibrated on water at 70°F, with a viscosity of 1 centistoke. Each repair kit has a K-factor guaranteed to be within +/-1 percent of the original.
General Specifications Performance Specifications Response Time Linearity: +/- 0.5% 1/2” to 2” WG Series: +/-1.0% 2-5 milliseconds for step change in flow rate GT Series: +/-1.0% 3” to 6” Repeatability 10-25 milliseconds for step change in flow rate Within +/- 0.1% of indicated flow throughout the Temperature Range of Pickups linear range.
3-A Sanitary Meters/Internals The INVALCO 3-A (28-03) Sanitary Turbine Flow meter is certified for use in the food and beverage industry where 3-A is required. The meter has been specially designed to have the same characteristics, flow ranges, and life as all the Invalco industrial meters, and also meet or exceed the requirement of 3-A (28-03).

13. At this point the user has the option to establish a Changing Batteries password. Once a password has been set, the 4200 will always prompt the user for a password, before pro- gram changes can be made. When no password or the wrong password is entered, the 4200 will go back to the normal display.
